Posting in various group!

Long time lifter, newbie runner.

I’m still slow atm and I have came to the conclusion that I like to be pushed. So knowing how others are doing would hold me accountable 🙏🏻

my friend groups are mostly skinny girls who never need to worry about fitness so here I am feeling lonely here.

Would anyone open to connect on Garmin pls feel free to add me:

Hi everyone, I’m Asian, 31F living around Ryde who is keen to make new friends especially in the Ryde / chatswood area as the majority of my friends live far away and are starting to have babies so it makes casual hanging out hard.

I work a corporate job that’s mostly wfh and love to visit new bakeries and restaurants, watch cdramas, recently started to play mahjong and pickleball, but also just like to chill and yap. Message me if you think we would get along :)

Hi, as requested, continuing the 30+ Hang out. I’m organising another coffee meet-up on Saturday 22/8, 11 am at the cafe inside Royal Botany Park. It seems that we will have a sunny morning while enjoying the chat and coffee. DM me for further details.

We are keen to meet other like-minded people. Strictly platonic. 30+ only. Must have similar interests and be at a similar stage in life (not to discriminate, but because it makes conversations more relatable and meaningful 😊)

Me: I’m a 35F professional like to yap about life, deep talk, career, self-development, gym, hiking, walking, coffee, food.. currently learning about ETFs, investing etc.. Other Redditors are also in the same age range and are like-minded.

Original meet-up posted in r/SydneySocial https://www.reddit.com/r/SydneySocial/s/QwHdn402zn .

Helloooooo everyone 👋

I am a 25yo guy who unfortunately loves to yap but is also on a mission to shed the extra pounds (or kilos here in Australia I guess!)

The problem is gym feels way too much solitary with repetitive movement of metal weights feeling too monotonous and the basic gym etiquette of not bothering people at their workouts coming in way for chatting.

Any recommendations of activities with good intensity and places where they conducted that's also fairly social where I'd genuinely ENJOY doing it rather than just for the sake of it..

Thanks!!

Helly all! I'm a 28M from Greater Western Sydney looking to make new friends, share hobbies and find a common third space together. I'm the type of person to try anything at least once. Currently, I'm into boxing, gym, pottery and music. I'm generally pretty active and enjoy meeting new people.

Wondering if anybody would like to meet to play Mahjong or badminton, or try out new activities together. Bonus if youre planning on seeing Daniel Caesar concert in Sydney later this year.

Feel free to reach out 😊

Hi, I’m 31M, Asian, and based around Ryde.

My life is pretty steady. I’ve been (a slave) at the same white-collar job for almost 9 years now and I'm pretty happy to ride it out here. My life might seem pretty boring to some people but I’m pretty content as I get to regularly do the things I enjoy: reading fantasy books, browsing Vinnies, going to the gym, and enjoying sauna/cold-shower sessions.

I have a small circle of friends, but I really appreciate all of them and genuinely enjoy just being around them. We don’t necessarily have to be doing anything exciting — getting a meal, chatting, wandering around afterwards, or playing LOL/TFT together is a real nice time for me. I’ve known most of my friends for many years, and I’d really like to start making some new connections and hopefully build a few friendships that could last for many years.

I'm not the biggest fan of shallow/casual interactions. They can be exhausting. I die a little every time I have to respond “good thanks” to “how are you going?”. I like it when people can talk about themselves and are honest/open/comfortable with themselves. I can go on and on about myself and my thoughts, and I'm always curious about things, especially how others feel/think.

I don’t interact with a huge number of people as my life is pretty mundane but I'm hoping to change this slowly so I can meet some new people. If you think we might get along, please do DM me and we can suss things out :). The more about yourself you can include the better

38F looking to meet a female companion for friendship and to do things together whenever we’re both free.
I’d love to find someone who’s up for playing badminton, visiting museums, browsing thrift stores, walking around the city, or simply exploring new places together.
I’m looking for genuine friendship and good company, not anything romantic. Ideally, someone around my age who enjoys having a companion for weekend outings and spontaneous plans.
If you’re looking for the same, feel free to DM me and we can chat and see if we get along. 😊

Hey y'all. Looking for some friends to chill with. I'm into drawing and painting, and I love to go out and try new restaurants and cafes, art galleries, farmers markets, thrifting etc. Got three fat cats as well if there are any cat people.

Open to chats / drinks.

Do share your age and location if dropping me a DM!

Hi everyone 👋🏼

Like many of you, I’ve realised that making new friends can be surprisingly difficult, especially as you get older or move to a new place. I’ve also found that a lot of the Instagram/Meet-Up groups are geared towards paid events, or non-platonic. And apparently, my gym has an unspoken rule that no one is allowed to talk to each other!

So, I’d like to start a small, regular coffee meetup for people roughly 30s–40s (ish) who’d like to expand their social circle and meet some new friends.

The idea would be:

☕ One or two coffee meets per week

📍 City / local / nearby cafes

👥 Around 5–8 people at first

💬 Conversation and getting to know each other 

🎯 Potential for group activities in future

This won’t be a formal club or networking event – just a relaxed mix of adults who are curious, friendly and like to chat about everything from culture, travel and food to fitness, hobbies, work and life.

If that sounds like you, comment below or send me a message. If there’s enough interest, I’ll organise a first coffee and see how it goes.

See you soon,

Larry :)

EDIT: Wow, thank you so much, everyone! This has received way more interest than I expected. I’m completely blown away by all the comments and DMs – I thought I’d be lucky to get two or three!

I’m going to figure out how to organise this and will be in touch with more details about the first meetup soon. ☕️

Hello! I'm an artist, performer and long-time traveller who just moved back to Sydney after a long adventure a few days ago! I'm about to start my Master's in Social Work early next year, and I'm just getting settled into the city... I was raised in a warm, loud and chaotic Southeast Asian culture so I'm determined to recreate that warmth in my life here! I love hosting dinners, cooking with friends, going on hikes and long walks, going to jazz bars, art galleries, burlesque shows and live music, trying out new food, visiting the farmer's markets, and anything creative and new. I would also love to make new friends who can teach me a thing or two about sustainable living and gardening.

Friends who are creative/have a creative side, are open-minded, love discovering new places and cultures and have interesting stories to tell are always a plus!

If this resonates with you, my inbox is open :)

F21, searching for a new friend group, my interests are being outdoors, exploring new places, hikes, going to the beach, camping.
Looking for other young people that may be interested in these hobbies and having fortnightly/ monthly meetups or more often.

Hi everyone,

We’re making this post to address an issue brought to our attention regarding unsolicited DMs sent to members of our community.

This is meant to be a safe, comfortable, and welcoming space for people to connect and make platonic friendships, whether that’s participating in group threads or attending public events. To keep it that way, we want to make our stance on personal outreach explicit:

Group Interest =/= 1:1 Interest: Replying to a thread about a group event or general community activity is not an invitation for private, 1:1 messaging or personal date requests.

Respect Explicit Consent: Please do not send private messages to members asking to meet up one-on-one unless they have explicitly posted or indicated that they are seeking 1:1 connections.

Zero Tolerance for Harassment: Using this community to unwantedly hit on members or push boundaries makes people feel uncomfortable and unsafe. That goes against everything this space is built for.

What to do if you receive unwanted messages:

1. Report & Block: Use Reddit's built-in feature to report the DM for harassment and block the user.

2. Contact Modmail: If someone from this community is persistently sending you unsolicited messages, please reach out to us via Modmail with screenshots.

Members who violate these boundary guidelines or engage in unwanted outreach risk a temporary or permanent ban from the subreddit.

Thank you to everyone who helps keep this community inclusive, respectful, and safe for everyone!

EDIT: IM TAKEN YALL PLS DONT DM N BE WEIRD!!

Hi yall!
I’m tots cringing myself out that I’m making this post but I seriously didn’t realise how HARD it is to make new friends and maintain it in your 20s. I’m not going out as much as I used to as work + uni life has intensified. I’m feeling extra lonely/fomo as I see everyone have a community and friends but me.

I'm silentlamb, I'm 23F from South Sydney. I'm looking for a gaming bestie/s - folks I can game with, vibe with, have a good yap/gossip sesh & even parallel play with virtually (preferably girly pops but atp idc). I will LOVE you if you have brainrot chronically online humour (iykyk).

I enjoy gaming(valorant,league,minecraft,dbd, friendslop games, cozy games etc!). I also recently got into pokemon card collecting and would LOVE to go to card shows! I also enjoy anime so any convention would be so fun too\~ Recently I’ve been itching to go out and meet new people. Idm if it’s something simple as going for a walk with coffee in our hands or bar hopping and getting kinda wasted - I’m honestly down for whatever.

I miss being the social butterfly I used to be and it’s really been a rough patch these past few months.

Anyways it’ll be so nice to meet yall! Talk soon :>

Hey Reddit, o/

I'm Iris (he/him), 24, and work full-time in the coffee industry.

To start I just wanted to say, I'm pretty progressive politically, so depending on your stance we may not be a good fit — but also very open to having discussions about it.

Normally I play a lot of League, but I'm pretty open to all games. I've recently been getting back into multiplayer survival crafting games like Enshrouded and Palworld, and recently wanted to try playing Minecraft again after seeing a mod that caught my eye.

Outside of gaming; music for me is very theatre- and jazz-adjacent, and I love watching a nice film. Books tend to be mostly fantasy, but I've also been obsessively consuming works by Byung-Chul Han as of late.

I'd be looking to make friends both to play games with, but also to maybe go to a nice restaurant or bar with. Oh, and maybe friends for the Proshot Hadestown coming out October 13! (You don't have to do it all.)

I love talking and meeting new people, so feel free to send me a message. One thing that resonated with me a lot was a content creator Glass Museum describing small talk as surfing, that there's a flow to talking to people and getting to know them.

P.S. If you want me to chat your ear off, tell me your go-to coffee (or cafe) order, and watch me go on a spiel about the different ways you can brew and roast coffee — and how tea is just as deep a rabbit hole to dive into.

Hi im 18f near epping/chatswood and looking for more mates to hang out with. I’ve replied to a few people’s posts but they’ve mostly led nowhere so i jst decided to make a post.

Currently in hsc season (pls send help 💀 im so cooked) but from october onwards i just have so much free time and most of my friends are heading overseas (im going a bit later in jan) so im going to be a bit lonely.

I’m looking for a gym buddy as someone who really wants to start going to the gym and also people i can go clubbing with!!! - most of my friends are still underage. Also js any fun activities like cafe/bar hopping and hiking!!

I enjoy watching movies, true crime docos, eating out, and shopping!!

Hmu if this sounds like you thanks!!

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to start learning Spanish in Sydney and would love some recommendations for good Spanish classes or courses, particularly for beginners.
I’m also hoping to meet new people and make some friends along the way, so I’d ideally like to find a class or group with a friendly and social atmosphere where there are opportunities to practise speaking Spanish with others.
If anyone has any recommendations or personal experiences with Spanish classes, schools, or language groups in Sydney, I’d really appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks!

Hello!

We're searching for people (preferably around our age), to game with regularly. We're on PC and free most nights and weekends. I’m addicted to mostly comp FPS games (Overwatch, Valo, Rivals, Fortnite) and I usually play casual but wouldn’t mind ranked if I’m not solo queueing. He plays mostly the same but is also obsessed with Deadlock. We're also into Magic the Gathering (finished building an Iron Man deck), so would also love to make a pod.

I'd love to eventually hang out in person too - going to conventions, movies, MTG nights, etc. Mostly wanting someone who is reliable and actually wants a consistent friendship. If that sounds like you, send me a dm and let me know what you play :)

Note: SFW/platonic only!
